I go and get their chicken pasta salad, I also had their chicken salad both which are delicious. I get a small order which is the size of a take out container, big meal. Enough for 2. I also saw them making a chicken wrap and the size was humongous. I love the cucumber drink. I totally recommend going and trying the food.

Pretty nice little hole-in-the-wall place. Nice to have healthy alternatives around the valley. I had a chicken wrap and it was jam packed. Good variety of fillings! And it was a pretty hefty meal overall. Their boba is pretty good too, maybe a little pricey, but still good. Only thing is they need more staff! There was only one employee and service was pretty slow. Poor guy...
Edit: So I've had their boba 3 times, and each time, the texture of the tapioca pearls was different. First time I had it over a month ago, it was good! But the last two times, not so much. They're hard to chew. Maybe they need to be cooked a little longer? They're not totally cheap, so it could definitely use improvement. But yeah, consistency definitely is an issue with the boba.

This place used to be really good and it’s just gone downhill. The Raspados used to be amazing and now they’re just terrible. They are definitely skimping on the syrup quality, for the raspados. Paid six dollars for a medium Rasapado, I ended up tossing in the sink. It tasted like a cup of ice sprinkled with Tajin. Zero flavor of pineapple or tamarindo. Skimp on quality = lose customers. Will not be returning.

Literal best iced tea in the county. Everything else, including donut shop and Conchitas is 2nd best. For out of towners, iced tea is a huge Imperial Valley thing. Get your fix here.

Absolutely LOVE this place!! Honestly this is the best tea in el Centro. Dare I say more than Conchita's, incredibly. I swear, ever since they opened up in El Centro, I can't love any other tea the way I love it from here. I'm an addict at this point. I finally tried their salads today and it does NOT disappoint. Since I chose what goes on it, I am not judging it on the taste itself. BUUUUTT the ingredients were fresh, and the guy who helped me was the sweetest! I will keep coming, because I love this place. Yes, the prices are a bit much ($30 for 2 XL teas and a small salad). But as a treat once in a while, it's not so bad. If you are reviewing badly based on the price, shame on you! If you think it's too expensive, just don't buy from them. Why did you pay if you thought it was so expensive then?

The chorizo tacos I got were cold and didn’t taste good. To top it off. The salad was moldy and very little chicken. 👎I am Charli d’amelio on tik tok. 🌹

Bad customer service I ask for a salad she charge me a sandwich. I told her it was a salad she was upset she had to do a salad I told her it was with everything she still keep asking. She was very slow & rude. There was another young lady there that was more friendly and helpful sadly I got the amargada one!
